In this part of the video, the speaker discusses setting up keybinds for different types of stationary cranes and other heavy equipment. They emphasize that the setup process is streamlined, allowing users to easily establish and customize their keybinds. It’s recommended to keep default keybinds as a fallback. The video also covers the ability to assign custom versions and reconfigure keybinds using joysticks. The speaker explains that preset configurations are provided for excavator cranes, wheel loaders, and more, and they show how to customize commands for different equipment, including tracked vehicles with Thrustmaster joysticks.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses configuring controls for a driving simulator setup using a Thrustmaster steering wheel and pedals. They explain how to map the foot pedals to control the left and right track movements, setting the gas and brake pedals for forward track movements and the trigger buttons on the TC 16000 joystick for backward track movements. The speaker recommends keeping the keyboard bindings for interactions, as it is practical for long-term use and prevents interference with the steering wheel or joystick. Additionally, they outline the significance of assigning the context menu to the steering wheel, particularly the start button, which will manage various vehicle functionalities like lights, flashers, and loading actions, making it similar to a menu button for the vehicle.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses setting up a Thrustmaster steering wheel, focusing on clearing character movement assignments to prevent unintended actions. They explain assigning various functions to the wheel, such as lights, repair, fuel, indicators, and hazard lights. The speaker assigns specific buttons for these functions, ensuring no conflicts arise. Furthermore, they discuss setting up the menu controls, emphasizing the use of the dominant hand for efficient navigation while driving. This careful setup ensures smooth operation of the Thrustmaster steering wheel.

In this part of the video, the presenter details the process of configuring a menu and control buttons for a device, presumably a thrust master joystick. They emphasize selecting inconvenient buttons for less frequently used actions, like the menu button, and discuss setting various functions, such as the context menu, motor pool, dozer blade, and rotational controls for the concrete pump and rotary drill, to specific buttons on the joystick. The presenter also advises ensuring the correct joystick is selected when assigning keys. Conflicts in button assignments are noted, particularly for the Palfinger crane controls.
00:15:00
In this part of the video, the speaker addresses a notification indicating that the keys are already signed to another function, which is normal for devices like concrete pumps and Palling cranes due to their similar arm-swivel dynamics. He explains the control mappings for the main boom (up and down) and secondary stick boom (left and right), noting that the controls might conflict but should not worry users. He also recommends assigning the arm extension and retraction to the triggers for ease of use. The speaker further advises ensuring that the concrete pump controls are clear and not duplicated on different buttons to avoid confusion. He concludes with an overview of the basic setup for the construction simulator using the TMX Thrustmaster pedal set and TC 16000 Thrustmaster joysticks, inviting viewers to leave questions in the comments.
